Lincoln has really stepped it up within the last 5 years
Love my QX60 so far. I’m fine with 295 hp. I feel it was a better choice compared to the new Lexus RX350 which comes with a less powerful 4 cylinder turbo.
The Aviator has the superior powertrain and the materials look (and feel) nicer. I understand the price points might not make these an apples to apple comparison but that lincoln is light years nicer.
I wouldn't say light years. It's nicer. I personally don't think it's $10,000 nicer.
Buy a Lincoln and become friends with the dealer.
From my personal experience, Infiniti infotainment center crapped out on me pretty fast. Japanese cars look similar to American ones but reliability, longevity and attention to quality and details is still desirable.
I purchased the Lincoln Aviator last year after comparing other vehicles, so I decided to go with the Lincoln Aviator Black Label which is the top of the Aviator models and let me tell you this vehicle is great has the power you want and look superior to other vehicles. I choose the Black Label Lincoln Aviator because I wanted the entire package deal. inside the center console it has a slide pocket phone charger just put your phone in it and it will charge fast. I love everything about this Aviator. I compared 6 other vehicles to it and choose the Aviator.
Does the 10 speed transmission have issues finding the right gear ?
I also got the aviator grand touring black label, I'm in love with it. I've always owned lincolns, but the Aviator is far superior to all the other lincoln models. I live in New York, and I love that I can toggle between battery and gas when I get in some traffic jams. I also love the excite mode when I want to have a little fun 😏.
@@tt55k No, transmission works extremely well on this model and I'm very picky about drive trains.
This is not a weird comparison, these cars competes regardless of price range!
The quality of the seat leather is better in the infinite. However over all the Lincoln wins. The engine power and acceleration is excellent. After comparing several brands I bought the Aviator, so many features I am still discovering new ones from time yo time.
The Lincoln is way better than the Infiniti. Power, quality, interior and exterior is better.
Like your videos, good comparison. Both look good and I hope will do well in the marketplace.
The lincoln feels solid as a rock. It feels like it should weigh more than it does.
You have any idea how much an Aviator weighs? Lol. A grand touring at that? You clearly have no idea how heavy they actually are.
That Lincoln is light years ahead on the interior, drive experience, cabin isolation and feature set.
I own Lincoln Aviator and I love it.
After checking both out, just went with Aviator. Great warranty too
A very important point that wasn't in this comparison was "ride quality".
The Lincoln Aviator is amazing with a very classy look.
Great comparison! I have to say that I own the Aviator's predecessor, the MKT(2017) and I love it. So when I get ready to buy again it will definitely the Aviator, even though the Q looks good.
The MKT wasnt really its predecessor though, it was based on the Ford Flex...not the Ford Explorer
@@joecool9739 I understand the technicality of what you are saying, but all I know is that the MKT went away and the Aviator showed up. I was told at my Lincoln dealer that the Aviator took the place of the MKT in 2020. Nonetheless, I'm just excited about the Aviator and I probably didn't use the correct terminology, please forgive me. But I'm sure most understood what I meant. And I can't wait until I can get an Aviator!
I got my qx60 Autograph 1 month ago and it’s a great car…
I prefer the Qx60. I like the overall looks more and I know that it will be far more reliable than the Aviator which are known for electrical issues even brand new.
I prefer the Aviator. It is much more elegant and luxurious looking in comparison to the Infiniti.
Which car is more reliable and low on maintenance and parts. What is the fuel average on both. I guess American cars are more luxurious.
The Aviator is nicer, but it is also a lot more expensive though.
I choose infinity qs60
The 4Runner, Grand Cherokee & Aviator the only 3 vehicles I'm looking at right now! How does the Aviator stack up against the other 2?
I normally don't comment but I do love my vehicles. Even though there is a 10k difference in price if Ben went more in-depth in his comparison the viewers would fully understand. Example: In your video, you have the Aviator seats have 21 adjustable features which is the top of the line. Aviator also has more power and can tow more than QX60 just to name a few. Overall the Aviator looks more prestigious and expensive.
Yes it’s a beauty.
I feel the same way it definitely looks much better much quicker if need be from what I've read they have very little more to work
Lincoln, hands down.
Interesting comparison. I have owned an Infiniti QX4 which was, as Infiniti called it their first “truck”. Never had a single issue with my Q car. Over 19 years of driving pleasure, until Oct 26th when a drunk driver hit me head on at a traffic light. It was a pick truck and my husband and I were not injured. I think we are safe due to the frame weight and my well made Q car. My insurance company totaled my Q car and I am very very sad.
I am now shopping for a new ride. I have picked the QX60, Aviator and VW Atlas as my top three contenders. Concerned that Lincoln is just a Ford, and VW has a higher maintenance cost, I am leaning toward the QX. I really wish none of those three had a 3rd row it is useless to me. I would prefer a nice flat carpeted floor in the back. I know that the QX would probably be another good 20 year car, but I am 70 next month, so maybe a 10 year Lincoln would be ok.
I plan to hold off as long as I can before buying, hoping for a better economy and lower prices. Hard to make myself spend 70k for a Ford.
My two cents: the Lincoln is no Ford. It's miles apart. That said, I've had two Lincolns over the last 12 years (and these were basically Fords) and they have been by far the most reliable vehicles I've ever owned, and I owned Nissans and Toyotas in the past. Personally looking at an Aviator as well. Good luck to your purchase decision
my aviator listed at 83K due to more options and the extra pluggable EV 100 hp motor and battery. I get 30 mpg on the highway and can run it on battery mode for 20 miles and plug it in when ever. The battery saves my $150.00 monthly in gas. If I use the battery with the gas engine I have a combined HP of 500!
Scott how would you compare the feel of the transmission and braking in the PHEV vs the standard setup? I have not been able to test drive the PHEV and many of the reviews have had negative comments regarding this aspect of the PHEV. Curious of your real world ownership experience. Thank you!
The Lincoln Aviator for me. It's so nice and classy. Alot of power
This ain’t a fair comparison trim wise because the Qx60 is a a high trim if not the highest. But the aviator is only a reserve trim.
Ye true buddy
Price wise they are both about 70k
Truthfully I would go with the pathfinder for the qx 60 and the ford explore st for the aviator I don’t think there is enough to justify the 10k price difference for both plus I think the Ford Explorer st looks better then the aviator
So you review "Which Luxury Three Row SUV Is The Best Value?" and yet you don't climb into the third row.. Further, when you do climb into the 2nd row to help show space, you really need to tell people how tall you are...Nice video, otherwise and thanks for posting it.
I’d buy the Lincoln over the Infiniti. I like the exterior & interior styling better. Who could resist those front seats in the Lincoln. If a person can’t get comfortable in them, they need to see a chiropractor!
It might look very comfy but I have sat in them and also seen reviews where auto journalists agree that it has too many ways of adjustments in every direction to truly call it comfortable!!
Buy a Lincoln and become friends with the dealer.
Gimme the Aviator!
Lincoln is back!!! 💯
Aviator sound system, seats, and air suspension alone make the Lincoln the better buy.
I decided on a 2023 Aviator in August. So far so good. Seems like they've dealt with the QC bugs that plagued earlier model years. Its goes like sh1t, gives 26mpg hwy & looks like a Range. QX60 is under powered. And i prefer Aviators exterior lines. Pricing was close enough. There are lots of 63-68K Aviators. I have one.
The main competition was the CX90 & MDX, for me. Must admit CX90 is easily the "value" leader. So much more for the same $...MDX still is classified as (sub)Lux - which i disagree with.
Call it peer pressure; I wanted certified LUX (replacing a Cadillac). Sorry Mazda.
The GV80 was too much $ + the small dealer network. Wife has an X5 which we love, but they're everywhere now: ubiquitous & more $...Didn't even look @ XT6 after my Cadillac (XTS 4) dealer/service nightmare. Thats about it.
Does that color on the QX60 come in every trim?
Third row ? Sunroof panel open or just Shade ?
Our Infiniti dealer finally got tester Autograph model. Checked it out yesterday, but a bit disappointed in the interior lighting, sooo dim and hardly any ambient lighting to speak of, and no fog lights.. a bit disappointed. I had reserved one Autograph model and it's coming very soon, but having second thoughts. Looks nice, but don't want to regret later. The quilted seat leather feels a bit flimsy.
Both of these are very nice vehicles but the Lincoln is subjectively and objectively superior in most ways, except reliability… they have been plagued with issues since they came out. I would lease one but I wouldn’t own one outside of the warranty. The Infiniti looks great, the biggest negative with it is the choice of wheels and why not use the 3.0t engine? All they had to do is drop it in and they’d have a much more competitive vehicle. The 3.5NA.engine is a good engine and probably all the performance most people would need for kid and grocery duty but it’s still way down on torque compared to the Lincoln. Also Infiniti shouldn’t have approved the chrome plates mimicking exhaust outlets for the final production cut. They take a really stupid trend to the next level of stupidity because they don’t even try to look like they’re actually functional. Weird. Otherwise it’s a pretty attractive car but I’m guessing it’ll get old explaining to curious onlookers why they exist at all.
This is actually a good comparison to my eyes because the exteriors look alike
I'd choose the Lincoln!
That Aviator is 🔥💯
Did an AVIATOR for Valentine's Day gift in 2020 for my significant other. They/Them loves it ! Has become our family road trip vehicle, so much room and comfort. I appreciate the massaging seats on long trips. Air ride suspension was a major plus in my choice
Both of these were on my short list for my next vehicle, in addition to the Acura MDX. Decided that I'm going to go with the Aviator, but the Grand Touring model so I can take advantage of the PHEV.
Nice! What color combo? I just purchased a 2022 Acura MDX Advance and absolutely love it! I almost went for the Type S with the 3 liter turbo v6 but there was a waiting list.
I considered the vehicle you purchased but when I saw that the 2020 version of the Aviator with 11 recalls I had to eliminate it from contention. Rest assured though, yours should be better because after 2 years they usually iron out the issues and have them fixed👍🏼
PHEV only makes sense if your daily commute is under the electric range or if you have extra money to waste.
@@gabevillarreal96 Buy a Lincoln and become friends with the dealer.
@@merebaap5940 No thanks. They are very good looking but I'm really loving my Acura. I'd rather be friends with my dealer for other reasons besides seeing him or her all the time for recalls. Not interested in that kind of acquaintance.
Why not include a drive/handling comparison Ben? You are just showing features and buttons
And does the Aviator have automatic transmission?
Really love the QX60, hope Infiniti does well with it
it'd be cool if we could actually buy one....
or test drive one
As much as I liked the speakers, performance, 32 way adjustable seats, and more, I just can't trust their reliability! Everybody knows Infiniti Nissan will roll forever. But I do think this crushes Cadillac and their competition. I actually felt bad for them when I saw this.
1. GV80
2. QX60
3. Aviator
Dont agree buddy, nissan aint reliable. Dk what u talkin abt
@@rafaytheghumman This Infiniti does not have a CVT which means it is VERY reliable.
@@kanishkthirumala736 nissan has been using cvt and their cvt was the worst and the aviator acc has the 10 spd automatic. So!
@@rafaytheghumman yeah but what he meant was this qx60 doesn't have the cvt, this new gen has the 9 speed auto and since it dropped the cvt its no longer unreliable!!
I think the GV80 looks weird. I don't like the packaging since they designed it as RWD. I want a 3 row for space in the cabin and the gv80 is lacking. It's also surprisingly expensive for what you get. I'd rank them QX60, Aviator, GV80 but I'd probably put the grand cherokee L ahead of the gv80 too. MDX is a consideration, but their infotainment makes it a no go for me.
I would pick the Aviator all day. Primarily because it is American made. And lets be honest it is way more superior.
The comparison wasn’t apples to apples , the Infiniti should have been equipped with their two tone interior
QX60 for me.
Great comparison. My wife has driven qx60s for many years and we are debating if now is the time to switch to the Aviator. The only drawback in my eyes would be the aviator is getting a little outdated as far as design. There is a definite need for a refresh and since the qx60 just had there's with dramatic improvements, it pretty much sways me that way.
Well you can't really compare 2 cars with 2 different driving dynamics, Infiniti is front wheel drive just like its sister Nissan Pathfinder and Lincoln is rear wheel drive more powerful and more plush got its own down things but overall not bad....
There’s no doubt that Infiniti benchmarked the Aviator when designing the QX60
I am going with the Lincoln they have a much stronger service history. Infiniti is Nissan which was purchased back in the early 2000's by Renault since then the quality of their cars have declined drastically.
That Lincoln leather looks so old and wrinkly, I rather take the Qx60 fresh and beautiful interior
The mkz front end is so sexy they decided to use it for their suv
I'd go for the Lincoln Grand Touring
Aviator won for me. The horsepower blows the infinity out the water
I do like the Acura MDX as well!
LINCOLN, and its not even close lol.
Lincoln has it.
Lincoln Aviator all the way.
I think Lincoln for the win
Lincoln is not worth the extra $10,000. Still nice but the Infiniti has the the edge for price/feature package. Both are beautiful and represent their brands well!
Is Lincoln going to stop Nautilus & Aviator?
QX60👍
As much as I like the Aviator, the quality issues with rollout (which I hope has been addressed) was a major confidence detractor. Then there's the price difference. 5 to 7k, ok. But 10k and I'm looking elsewhere.
I really wanted the aviator but they have some transmission issues right now just like the explorer. I went with a nautilus.
Nissan has and is still having reliability problems
With There Transmissions
Especially There c.v.t. it is
A good boat anchor and thats about it.
@@lenisbennett3062 this doesn’t have a CVT and actually statistics would tell you you’re wrong
@@chill_lovings8372 actually statistics tell me I'm right. The Nissan cvt is said to be one of the worse cvt on the market.
@@lenisbennett3062 no it was about 10 years ago. You’re not actually researching. Nissan Rouge is one of the best selling SUV’s
Qx60 & with some of the 10 grand I save put a dark rap on those quasi exhaust & put a supercharger on qx60...still have change from that 10,000$.
Supercharger for my challenger was 10k by itself.
Who puts a supercharger in an Infiniti QX60 family car anyways?!
@@rhydynamic8306
Lots of family cars have performance nowadays...
Might as well just get the Lincoln at that point.
@@joecool9739 Yeah. But why would you ADD a supercharger into a QX60 that didn’t come with it
OMG, NO Comparison lol. The Lincoln absolutely eviscerates the Infiniti.
Sure does..for about $20k more when loaded..
@@emery2310 it’s worth it. The base engine makes 400hp, Infiniti only has one engine option that’s under 300hp. The Lincoln will have a smoother and more solid and premium feel, it’s pretty obvious that it’s the more expensive vehicle in this video.
@@RomaneMaticaliseGordon Infiniti could possibly put the electric motor or the twin turbo 400 hp V6 I’d take the Qx60 for looks and reliability because it’s the outgoing models powertrain just a different transmission
Aviator hands down
It's funny how there's so much unanimous agreement about Nissan being notorious for unreliability when the same could be said about every brand. Heck Toyota and Honda all have their fair share too and should I mention the German brands like audi and so on.l? The fact that a car has CVT doesn't automatically make it junk. And CVT has been around before most people were born. It usually has to do with maintenance and driving behavior. I've seen just as many CVT Nissans and infinitis around that are 20+ years. So far my most unreliable brand experience has been lincoln (ford) and but the MKS to be specific so once again let's not speak based on emotions and hearsay. I've owned BMW, VW, infinity, tomato, lexus, Honda and Lincoln. I've also seen just as many Teslas being towed too so no one particular brand is safe!
Lincoln has slight advantage on looks but not worth $10 grand more. Also I don't trust the Explorer underpinnings
One of these is a top 3 quality brand according to JD Powers and one of these is a bottom 5 brand.
Lincoln has a better drive and other nice features has my vote
Buy a Lincoln and become friends with the dealer.
@@merebaap5940 do you have personal experience with an aviator?
I don't think this is remotely a comparison that is relevant. There is interest in the QX because it's the new kid in the block but Nissan always has tech that's not anywhere near cutting edge. As the owner of several of them, they are more near lux (premium) vehicles than actually a luxury vehicle. The Aviator is going after Mercedes, BMW and Land Rover. QX60 isn't benchmarking them. That said I plan to have an Aviator one inventories get back to normal.
Thanks for the comparison! The Lincoln Aviator is very nice but I like the the infinity QX60 and the 10K less!. I love the moonbow blue and black two tone paint. the HUD and Camera rear view mirror. the Theatre style captain seats and Saddle Brown Quilted SEMI-ANILINE LEATHER-APPOINTED interior. Looks much better to me.
I love the infiniti look too
Unfortunately for some reason infiniti has limited the two tone color to ONLY the top level trim which is beyond stupid if you ask me
@@Merknilash yes I agree only the autograph has it it's ridiculous
Lincoln all day
The aviator is gorgeous but i will take the infiniti
Ben must be on Red Bull, talks fast and moves the camera around too fast. Not sure the Lincoln is worth $10K more. Do they require Premium fuel?
Lincoln suggests premium (& access to all 400 horses). It will run on regular which I throw in about 1/3 of the time.
I'll take the Lincoln!
I went to get an Infiniti yesterday until I drove it. It is not responsive on the highway. Literally punched it three times and counted two Mississippi before the car took off. Too much money for a subpar acceleration
The Aviator aka Explorer has a less then stellar reliability reputation. Love the Infiniti.
Infiniti for me bruh. I don’t trust Ford products.
Does anyone know why Lincoln dropped the towing limit on the Aviator from 6700lbs on the 2021 to 5600lbs on the 2022? I can't find any information anywhere as to why they did this.
Your premise is wrong, the Aviator has different powertrain setups
The hybrid Aviator has 500hp and 630lbs torque with 6700lbs towing
The standard Aviator has 400hp and 415lbs torque with 5600 towing
@@joecool9739 Actually you have that reversed. The Reg Aviator has the 6700lbs towing and the Grand Touring has the 5600 towing
Huge fan of the Lincoln Aviator
Infinity qx 60 all the way the handling way beter and driveing very smoth
My dad a big guy geting in the third row was easey for him and he loves it
The QX60 is missin led fog lights
Ehhh, yeah I don't think you compare these two. Lincoln is a competent different class. Maybe the Infiniti with an Acura.
These vehicles are direct competitors
QX60 is better. I prefer the QX
Not even close. Aviator wails on the infinity. I have a qx60 and bought 2020 Aviator touring. I only drive the the qx60 when I want to avoid putting miles on my far superior aviator ..
You have the old QX60 which has nothing in common with the new QX60...so your opinion doesnt matter
I would advise all new car buyers to hold back and wait as long as they possibly can. Dealers are marking up these new cars like there is no tomorrow, you can expect to pay $1000s to $10k over sticker right now. QXs are non existent, when they are available they are grossly marked up. That goes for nearly all new cars right now. Do no give dealers that profit, they are crooks. A honest dealer would at best sell at MSRP, and create a list, first come first serve...but that's not the reality today, a lot of manufactures are letting dealers ripping people off. Ford supposedly is warning dealers charge over MSRP to lose their supply but that can be done immediately.
Lincoln
Infiniti all day all the time. I didn't even know they still make lincolns 😐
That is funny. I was just thinking I can’t remember the last time an Infinity caught my eye. But I sure do notice the Navigator and Aviator when I see one. They are great looking luxury SUVs
@@seanjone4574 hi what company makes the aviater and navigotor? I'd like to check them out.
@@latino914 hi there. They are both Lincoln’s. It is one of the cars in this video we are commenting on
@@seanjone4574 oh shoot totally forgot lol. These cars are very uncommon in the Tri-State area. CT, NY, NJ. I really thought they stopped making lincolns back in 2007.
I totally agree with you on that. Infiniti looks Amazing. And yea you don't see lincolns around where I live either. And if there is it's a grandma driving it.
I said Dodge Durango 2021 versus Infiniti QX60 2022
?
then go make a review or look for one lmao let the guy post what ever he wants plus the durango isn't much special compared to any of these luxury suvs
Ain’t no one care about what you said
Lincoln is making this infinity.
Lincoln aviator for me
Lincoln because my wife has one…. lol nice vehicle
Love the Lincoln!
The GV80 and QX60 copied the Aviator's dashboard and center console...its so obvious
Thats not a bad thing though, theyre gorgeous
